Event Upload — checks for a scan tool connection, looks for saved
playback files on the scan tool, uploads the playback files to the PC, and
then displays a dialog box for you to open a playback file for viewing.
Note: To upload playback files, disconnect the scan tool from the vehicle.
Playback — displays a dialog box for you to select a playback file to open.
After you select a file, it opens in a separate Playback window. You can
review, save, or delete the playback file.
Note: To view playback files on the PC, you must first upload the files with
the Event Upload function. Then, to playback and print the uploaded files,
you do not have to connect the scan tool and PC.
Scan Tool Print — displays a dialog box for you to print data directly from
the scan tool. This can be live data you are viewing or it can be playback
data saved in the scan tool. (See the procedure on the next page.)

software language, and view software information.
